We have a 4 ur old dd with pretty severe autism. Her skill set is mostly in the 18-24 month range. We also have a 14 month old ds that is typical. Hitting all the milestones at the right times. It hit me that one day very soon my ds is going to pass dd. Breaks my heart

Dd is 10 and behaves like a young teen. Ds is 12 and behaves like a 7 yr old. They look out for each other though and are very close. Dd is very protective of her brother. It truly is like she is the first born as opposed to him. Ds has pdd-nos, ADHD, and other issues.
